- 3 Apples
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1½ cups Apple Sauce sweetened or unsweetened depending on your taste

Optional Topping One

Prep

- Blend together the apple sauce, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large bowl.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, mix well. The batter may be quite thick.
- Strain the diced apples and add to the batter. Mixing until well incorporated.
- Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full, almost to the top.
- Optional: Sprinkle the top with either of the optional toppings
- Bake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown.
Optional Topping Two
- In a small bowl combine all the ingredients and mix until consistency is rough crumble.
